Never knew any of that John. Way cool! Thanks for sharing :)

^ Thanxs for stopping in and taking alook at the "moldy oldy" process. Old Polariod ( before they bankrupted ) had a multitude of various producls, some marketed and some not, over the many decades. For example: they developed synthetic quinine ( for malaria ) during WW2 (very expensive to make) when availablity was shut down because of the war, photcopiers, Edwin Land's research into the nature of color vision ( it redefined the science of vision ), multi-color laser images ( a get leap forward for holograms ), museum camera the largest room-size camera ever made for instant film...and many more such examples. Sorry to rattle on...I am a "Polariod freak and nerd" and I can't help myself. Well..anyway please take care and good health to you. Still from the desert of even longer shadows now...John

^ Thanks for the cool comment and stoppingby. The 20K film was incredible stuff. I only wish I had got a case of it instead of only 5 packs. It's a shame to see all that research go by the wayside. John
